No sound here on Win 8.1x64 with Opera Dev 61.0.3296.0
In Chrome/FireFox plays with sound.

@burnout426 There is no sound on this video.

If you open this video through Firefox, then there is sound.

@burnout426 I guess if sound works, there should be equalizer visible on the tab in Opera. So it can be tested even without speakers(just to check if it's not muted, here the video is muted by default).

After some time, I had my problem solved. The member @cmarcelo, gave the "golden ticket". I tested it and it worked out for me. Videos that were not running, now play normally.

https://github.com/iteufel/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/releases

Access the GitHub repository and download the ffmpeg version for your OS (Linux, Windows, OSX). Then unzip the Opera root folder. Restart your browser.

@Daigo after this, the video plays
but in here, not even one gif plays. Opera 62.0.3331.18 Stable Ver. W8.1, 64 bit
can any one verify in NOAA page, if gifs plays? because i tried with chrome, firefox and opera dev, stable, and none plays the gif in NOAA's page twitter ..

For me, "nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt" did not make difference. Even without it the original linked Tweeter video played fine on Opera 60 with some updates. I'm not sure what caused this - maybe Twitter re-encoded it at some point with a different codec. I've noticed low quality, and not sure it was the same when I've started the thread. I've tried monitoring the Opera process and did not notice it even tries to access the new .dll file. Someone will have to link a specific video which did not work without this .dll and worked with it.

And yes, https://twitter.com/NOAASatellites is the latest example of how videos don't work under Windows 8.1 even with latest Chrome browser.

@liandri Hi, thanks for try. I found that maybe is the W8.1 (and W7) that makes the problem stable.
Look here (link for bugzilla.mozilla). Link for mozilla, but is the same problem that is about W7 and W8.1
There is a thread about it here also (reddit)

panosv @leocg

@leocg sorry, but why you say the same every time? W.10, have no problem with that (as far as i know), i can confirm on W.10, but W.7 or 8.1 (i have it on another machine) have issues with gifs, and appears on browsers.

if you have solution or advise for that, i want to know, thanks

@panosv Because people insist in opening topics about issues already being discussed.

Also, the OP didn't mentioned its OS.
